PHP Bugs: #17079: setlocale changes the internal representation of floats
The system uses Oracle for persistence, where the decimal separator is a comma, as is a custom in that country. So numbers came in from Oracle, and then PHP was unable to process them correctly. For example, if a client had a debt of 25,12€, and the client paid 5€, then the comparison ($paid_amount > $debt) said incorrectly that the paid amount was more than the debt. Result: hundreds of wasted man-hours. In the end we recompiled PHP without that "fix".
Oui, chez Zend aussi on aime faire de la grosse daube.

Techdirt: Smartphones Patented... Just About Everyone Sued 1 Minute After Patent Issued
Et après les gens du monde libre se demandent pourquoi les compagnies sont frileuses d'implémenter Ogg Theora. Tant qu'une technologie n'est pas implémentée par une société commerciale à larges revenus, il n'y a aucun moyen de savoir s'il existe un brevet même avec toutes les précautions possibles.Reading the patent, you realize it describes the quite common smartphone. It's a patent for a mobile phone with removable storage, an internet connection, a camera and the ability to download audio or video files. The patent holding firm who has the rights to this patent wasted no time at all. At 12:01am Tuesday morning, it filed three separate lawsuits against just about everyone you can think of, including Apple, Nokia, RIM, Sprint, AT&T, HP, Motorola, Helio, HTC, Sony Ericsson, UTStarcomm, Samsung and a bunch of others.
